Strike on Kamyshuvakha Is One of Russia’s Most Massive Killings of the War, Coming Right After Oleshky Humanitarian Mission — Zelenskyy at Press Conference with Merz

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, stating that the recent strike on Kamyshuvakha in Zaporizhzhia region is among Russia's most devastating attacks during the war. This came shortly after the humanitarian mission in Oleshky. Zelenskyy reported that thirty-three people were killed in Kamyshuvakha, with over fifty more potentially trapped beneath the debris.

Following the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, Ukraine had proposed extending the ceasefire with Russia, but Russia instead launched additional strikes. Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine, along with the United States, Europe, and NATO, will convene in Brussels tomorrow (November 4) to discuss potential solutions. He expressed hope that the trilateral talks would pave the way for a meeting among leaders to address crucial issues and achieve a lasting peace.

During the same press conference, Merz confirmed that Ukraine is seeking further assistance, including deliveries of PAC-2, PAC-3, and IRIS-T missiles, as well as a new F-16 support package. Merz also suggested that the Oleshky truce could serve as a model for agreements aimed at halting attacks on the Black Sea and energy infrastructure.
